A 17-year-old boy has been charged with aggravated robbery following an incident in Belconnen in November.
About 8pm on 13 November (2025) a woman and her mother were sitting at the Belconnen bus interchange when they were approached by a teen who allegedly demanded cash from the woman.
When she refused, he allegedly produced a large knife and threatened the women.
A short struggle then occurred with the teen allegedly fleeing the scene with a small bag containing cash.
After speaking to the victims and reviewing CCTV, police were able to identify the alleged offender.
On Saturday night (3 January 2026) police attended a residence in Bonner for unrelated matters and the wanted teen was found in the home.
He was subsequently arrested and will face the ACT Childrens Court today (Monday, 5 January 2026) charged with one count of aggravated robbery using an offensive weapon.
